Those are nice :thumbsup:

I thought I would need rear stabilizers at the rear of mine. When I built the frame and tried to sit in the back to see how the dropped floor would work the darn thing did a "Wheelie".

But then after I got it built there was so much weight in the forward area I didn't have to worry.

The thing that really put it over the top was the battery as far forward as possible.

Now I do realize that these 2 trailers have 2 different purposes in mind.

Happy Trails

biziedizie wrote:Looking good Kelly :) Are those adjustable an removable? I can't expand the pics in photobucket :(


They are removable via bolt and wing nut. I lower the front crank down then remove and drop the rear stabilizers to the lower set of bolt holes then crank up the front again until it is level and sitting on the legs. This does unfortunately require a semi level camping spot but I can adjust somewhat with the front crank to compensate for unevenness or might add additional holes to pick from in the back..

Slow, no work on mine either. Long day hauling cow crap also. But that is what I do most days. I drive a manure truck, an ex over the road with a lengthened frame and manure box on it. WE beat the crap out of those trucks. They just where not meant to be used on farms and such. And I probably shift it more in one day than an OTR driver does in 2 weeks of driving.

Slow probably already knows what we do to those trucks, I kind of threw this in for those that are not ag based.

Picked up an adapter for the gray water tank outlet. I do not like the twist lock RV connectors on the stinky slinky so switched to a 3" cam-lock. For Canada we will not be moving the trailer for 8 days and this way the gray water can be dumped into a 5 gal flex water tank and dumped. I now had a 3" to 3/4 water hose adapter. A couple of days back I picked up the Progressive Industries EMS to hard wire in.
